Some photos of my "little trip" around europe last week.

First stop: Arnhem, Holland









Next Stop: Soest, Holland









Part 2: "Germany" will follow soon

Arnhem must have been something. Loads of history there. Great shots

Why do they put all those nice planes in the dark?  :-/  ;D

I'd rather use a cunning device, called a lamp, to brighten them up a bit...

Soesterberg is cool isn't it?

Did ya go to the Aviodrome? That place is also getting much better!

Edit: Did ya make a photo of the F-15 on soesterberg... It's the first ever operational F-15!

I was at the aviodrome last year...But I went there this time too! But it was closed, apperently its closed on mondays...But I had a chance to visit some friends at lelystad. And no, I didnt take a picture of the F-15.

Would you rather they were left in the elements to rot away....

Rather see them flying actually.

Not as bad as the Battle of Britain exhibit at Hendon....they deliberately make it dark and pump in exposion sound effects, a real pain for taking pics.

Good effort though in the dark, how about using PSP to lighten them up a bit!

Its a bit grainier but shows more of the plane;

     

The BoB exhibit at Hendon was perfectly lit when I went there a few years ago.

What a lovely MkIX. The new layout of the BoB hall at Hendon does make photos a little tricky without a tripod as it is a little dark! Most of mine from the hall came out a little blurry on my digital camera!

ohhh thats one of those bridges we stole from the nasty old germans.
nice shots. i must go to hendon again sometime. i havnt been in years!

Actually, it's the bridge the nasty old germans managed to defend with an SS Panzer battalion.

I had a similar problem in the Viking Skip Museet in Oslo and the Vasa Museet in Stockholm. In Oslo I managed to get a lot of good shots with a flash and three second exposure by keeping very still and leaning against walls. In Stockholm I was recovering from a sleepless night on a train so the pictures didn't come out nearly so well.

yeh i have an independant study to do for A2 history, i was looking at operation market garden or the war in north afrika.
after this little incident i think i will go with North Afrika

but i will do mroe research on market garden and then even more on north afrika
